Automatic data collection

There are usually no cookies used. The surfing behaviour of our website visitors is not evaluated in any form which could lead to conclusions on clearly specific persons. Data taken from third parties is usually not consulted for the evaluation of surfing behaviour. Some websites use the web analytics service “Google Analytics” to evaluate the requests. The visitors of those websites are informed separately about the use of “Google Analytics”.

Voluntary data collection

The website contains various forms which must be completed by our visitors in their own interests in order to make use of the associated services. These are principally registrations and orders.

Aim of collected data

The collected data is only saved for the declared purpose and not passed on. (Exception: web analytics service “Google Analytics”, see above).

Your data is saved on our servers, kept with great care and protected from intrusion by third parties. Only employees who require it to carry out their assignment have access to your data. We do not pass your data on to third parties. (Exception: web analytics service “Google Analytics”, see abo
